Roger:

I wound up getting my headliner tack strips from Steve Pierce from his stock of 57 Ford parts in Twenty Nine Palms, CA (in the high desert above Palm Springs where it is very hot and very dry).  The metal in the parts he has cleans up very nicely.  He's not cheap, but also not out of reason either.  If you can obtain them from a member it's much less expensive, but as a last resort he's a good one to check with.  By the way he has a rather strange sense of humor, but a good guy to deal with.  He ran a tow business in the LA area from the time he returned from Viet Nam until about 10 years ago.  He never saw a 57 Ford he didn't like and collected hundreds over the years.  He is listed in the vendors list.

Roger..I checked out a couple of 63A's ( they didn't have a 63B hardtop) at Desert Valley Auto Parts south of Phoenix this moprning and neither of them had tack strips. I got inside of one and looked at some shreds of old healiner, and realized they never had a tack strip, but were glued to the top of the window frame. The 64b (4 dr) they had there did have the tack strips attached above the door. I don't know if the hardtop 2 dr used tackstrips or not, but if it did, and it were me, I'd go for the 4 dr tack strips and tweek them if they weren't already a close enough fit. I've got a pic of them I'll post if your still looking when I get back to Amarillo.
